USB 3.0 Hub for RN102
Is it possible to use a USB 3.0 hub with the ReadyNas 102 to expand the amount of USB 3.0 devices you can connect?

Hello jcsdkx51,
If both USB hard drives and Hub is powered on separately then I think there will be no problem connecting it to the NAS. If your issue is now resolved, we encourage you to mark the appropriate reply as the “Accept as Solution” or post what resolved it and mark it as solution so others can be confident in benefiting from the solution.The Netgear community looks forward to hearing from you and being a helpful resource in the future!

The drives are WD MyBook powered drives and the USB hub is powered also. I didn't think there would be any issues but just wanted to make sure before I plugged it in and fried something. Thanks for the assistance!

Powered Hub worked like a champ. Have three devices plugged in and no issues reading any. Thanks!
